Photo Shoot - explanation and dates

Photo-Shoot Explanation

Away from the music video shoot, for the digipak and advert planning I started to think about when I could take the photos. Very early one I decided without much hesitation to setup a separate photo-shoot session so I could take top quality images on a specific photography camera, this I think will make the products look more professional and show that I have spent time thinking of ways to improve the products. I have laid out the times and dates that will hold the photo shoots, obviously one of the biggest issues to deal with when working with people not in the same group or class as you is finding a compromise with certain days and times when they are not busy or doing something related to there own work, so far I have had many issues relating to this in the music video alone but I am sure that I will produce high quality images that link and show a reflection of the music video, I achieved this by shooting the photos in the same locations as the video and under the same conditions eg smoke and lighting. The photos are designed in a way to fit in to the video and other products linking to my main theme and genre, the idea of water and the comparison and difference between hot and cold and light & light and dark. The storyline of the song is very important in the images and its something I have tried to capture and I think the images on the advert and digipak will show the idea of dark and light and the feeling that the main actor is in a dark place, that something bad has happened and that he is alone. I believe you can see from the pictures that jack is searching for this person he has lost and that he desperately wants her to come back and these feelings I think come across in the photos.
